you can get much information in this website,stay a minute in website and check anyone link at a time,you can aslo get your answer in Google Search in this website, which has helped me alot

Try leaving the air conditioner lower and try playing with her for at least ten minutes each day. Sometimes class can get very cold when it's cold outside so its the same inside. It's probably just like a cold a human would get in the winter. Try these things if that doesnt work. Call a vet and ask for advice its free to do that. Dont get to scared and good luck hopes this helps!

you shouldnt allow her to be cold at night, turn the air conditioner on low or turn it off at night so she wont be cold and get sick, also you should play with her so she gets exercise and so she wont go untame ok. does she get enough air through the glass cage opening? If not then her blood presure can and will go bad, and she will have a more likely chance of getting sick. It is also a really great idea to purchase a little hideout for her to sleep in, you can get one a wal-mart or a pet store and they work great i got my little cheeks a t.v. hideout which looks like a t.v and it keeps her really warm when she sleeps...hope this helps:)

Signs that a hamster has a respiratory infection are normally sneezing and runny nose. In more severe cases the hamster may have runny eyes, lethargy, weight loss, refusal to eat and drink or laboured breathing/wheeziness.

Infections can be caused due to improper bedding like pine or cedar shaving, so change your bedding to carefresh or plain ripped toilet paper and see if the infection goes away in a couple of days.

If the hamster exhibits signs of sneezing and running nose only and it continues to eat and drink and is active it should be kept in a warm room (not hot) of constant temperature and away from draughts. Some extra paper bedding should be placed in the cage and the hamster should recover within a couple of days. If the hamster does not recover after a couple of days or worsens veterinary advice should be sought as antibiotic treatment may be required.

If the hamster exhibits any signs of a severe cold (runny eyes, lethargy, weight loss, refusal to eat/drink or laboured breathing/wheeziness) veterinary advice should be sought immediately as antibiotic treatment is likely to be needed and failure to treat quickly could lead to bronchitis or pneumonia from which the hamster may have trouble recovering.

hamsters come from the dessert never put it in air conditioning!

cool, good work

So what is the Question?

how do you power it

it cost about 1200 to get an original system from another car and have installed i have done it before on cars that don't have it on them,labor and parts all together will cost between 1000-1200 bucks to get the complete factory system installed and working,good luck.

skip the web and talk to your landlord. be wary of poisons. you can always move somewhere more sanitary.

if she has taken no action
have a professional come in and take a look
take pictures of the bugs have proof take her to small claims court
i beleave if it endnagers your child she must let you out of your lease

I am assuming you are talking about the blower motor. Most likely the blow motor has burned out. It is under the dash on the passage of the car. In the black hearter box, The lower area of the box unclips or bolts. Un both motor and unplug wires. Take the plastic cage blow off the motor. You will use this on the new motor. Beford you that it out of the box. See if you are fetting electric to the motor. If you are then moter is bad. If you are not. The it is in the computer for the A/C and heat. About $400. to $800. pending on the system you have.

Ugh i dunno..sowwie =/

is it an old wasp nest with no wasps in it? you will have to take it apart to remove it cuz you don't want to run the a/c with that in there.

unplug the unit and cover the inside with plastic.tape around to make a good seal. After dark when the wasps are in the nest spray the unit through the louvers on the back with a wasp and hornet killer. after 12 hours remove the plastic and front cover and filter. you may have to remove the inside of the unit from it's shell to get to the nest.once the nest is gone, hose off the entire unit inside and out and replace the filter.let the unit dry sufficiently before plugging it in.

I think you would be better to take it apart, unless you can clean it using a garden hose and small brushes. You could spray wasp killer at it, but you would be breathing that stuff eventually. Make sure it is good and dry before you turn it on though. Electrical shorts could cause a major problem if you leave stuff wet.

Air conditioners should be good and clean to use anyways. Dirty air conditioners cause major respiratory problems in people who are sensitive to that stuff.

Be careful. Don't spray anything in there with it plugged in!

I haven't ever had a lock on my door.

Learn to do your own laundry, and tell her you get hot in the morning and that you'll turn the AC off when you get up.

Why do you need a lock in your parent's house? They own the house, they should have full access to it. Basically just don't do things you don't want them to see and you will be fine.

When you turn 18 and move out on your own you and your roommate can have locks on your doors.

I never had a lock on my door as a kid. Why would I need one?

Well if if makes you feel better I'm 16 and don't have a lock. Maybe buy a doorstop, and when your door is closed put it underneath the door.

Ask them for a lock. But when they ask why, just say that you want privacy for when you change.


:)

Yea. I had one on my door at that age.

As long as your parents know you're not doing anything really bad (drugs or the like), I think they should let you have one.

im 13 years old girl. i have a lock on my door but i usually leave it open anyways. my brother didnt have a lock until he was 16.. just tell your parents you feel you want to be more independent and have more privacy. act mature and do chores and show them you are responsible and wont be having sex with a girl.
hope i helped
answer mine too please?

It is very normal for a teenager to not have a lock on their door. you just have to be open with your parents. approach them as an adult and they will respect you. Tell them you are getting older and would like a little more privacy. Ask if they could just knock for a change. Part of being an adult, is being more responsible... having your mom put away your clothes for you, not only gives her an excuse to come into your room, but also makes you a little childish. I don't mean to offend you with the last remark, it's just a suggestion to help you get more privacy.

I have a lock, but I share the room. More my bro's problem though. Mostly because he gets a boner just from talking to his GF online...

Anyways, a lock won't do much against parents except a few seconds to put your cock away. Just ask to get a lock, it will be like... a few hours of awkwardness maybe, it could just be you that is uncomfortable, so try asking.

My stepbrother got upset when he was living with my mom and stepdad because he didn't have a lock on his door (but they would usually knock before entering) so he brought it up to his councler (he had been in trouble with the law a few times) and the councler informed him that legally he didn't even have to have a door on his room at all. So just be glad you have a door. I didn't have a bedroom door when i was 14 and at 15 when my parents divorced my mom and i were living in a 1 bedroom apartment. Yes it is perfectly normal for a child (which you are until you are 18) to have no lock

yeah i have a lock on my door - seriously you need to talk to them about that or just get used to them walking in as you "beat the meat" haha
say something like, "now i'm getting older and i would like a little more privacy, i feel like i am responsible and would appreciate a lock on my door"

i think you should tell them that you need privacy and when you change, you need a lock. also say you wnt do anything bad and see what they say.

i have a lock on my door but im the "good kid" while my brother is the one who always gets in trouble, so i think my parents trust me on this.

it is pretty normal to not have a lock, i mean a lot of my friends dont. but to be honest, it's their house and they have the right access.

xxox

I have a lock but I'm not allowed to use it. My mom says she will not have locked doors in her house. Idk why, but I don't have alot of rules so I don't argue about it.

I had a lock on my door at my old house but my parents took it off the first time I tried using it. I haven't had a lock on my door at any house since. It sucks! I asked my parents to knock. My dad does just he doesn't want to walk in while I'm getting dressed or something like that, but my mom never does. She tried knocking once, she knock on the door then opened it before I even said "come in." No she'll just open the door and walk right in. I hate it!

lol at them telling you when they are going to bed.
its good to have a lock on your door but sometimes if you lock it too much your dad will take your door away. because thats what my dad did :(
he said " you lock you door way too much and next time you do it im taking it away." but then i forgot and locked it and then next thing i knew my door was gone. but thats ok i got it back. :)

just ask them that you would like to have more privacy in the house because you feel like you dont have any and ask them for a lock.
or at least ask them to knock before they come in.

if it helps i have no doorknob or lock and it never closes all the way im 15 too and it sucks i just throw stuff behind my door or it will close all the way so i can change. yea but my bf has a curtain(well its more as just a sheet) as his door.so yea its not unheard of.

I don't think it is a problem of whether they trust you or not. A lot of teenagers don't have locks on there doors because I don't think most houses have locks on the bedroom doors, aside from the master bedroom. Its actually totally normal for teens to look at porn. Feel lucky, I'm not even allowed to close my door, regardless of what I'm doing or what room I'm in. My door has a lock, but its on the outside, and I can't close my door because the doorknob fell off on the inside, and if it closes I'll get locked in. How about you just keep your door open, do your own laundry, and turn off your air conditioner, so she won't have a reason to come in. Or, how about you do whatever you want to do when your family members are out of the house?

Well, it is their house. They SHOULD be able to come in and out of your room whenever they want.

You don't need a lock, just ask them if they could knock before coming into your room. It's their house and they're going about their business, bringing in your laundry (which you could and should actually do yourself), taking care of the A/C use in your room (and hence their utility bill)... just contribute to the household in ways that keep them out of your room. Even though you're 15, you're still their baby and they probably don't even realize what they're doing. Just talk to them about the whole privacy thing and ask if maybe they could knock before coming in. They were 15 once, I'm sure they'll understand.

The second you ask for a lock is the moment they start being suspicious. In my parents' house my brother and I had a locks on our doors, but we were not allowed to use them. If we were caught locking our doors, that just bought us a lecture and constant monitoring from our dad. My brother and I were good kids, our parents just had short leashes and don't like being "told" via locked doors where they can and can't be in their own house.

My parents put a lock on my door when I was about12. I think they knew i had started masturbating and wanted me to keep the door locked when i was doing it so my little brother wouldn't come in and see me.
I think it was really cool of them to understand that i needed some privacy and they never embarrassed me by telling me they knew what i was doing.
I don't know how they found out i masturbated unless they saw me when i didn't know it.
So I don't know if it is normal to have a lock on the door but it sure helps.

Ask them can they knock before entering. My brother's 16 and he doesn't have a lock on his door. He doesn't even have a doorknob. Okay, that needs some explaining I guess. When we were little, like I was in the 2nd grade probably, it was time to get up for school and the door wouldn't open! We were locked in our room for about an hour. They had to cut the doorknob off to get us out. That morning was spent in tears for me. Its pretty normal.

Tell them you'd like privacy for when you're changing or something like that. Although parents never want to think about their kids masturbating, sometimes they should consider that it is something teens do. You deserve the right to privacy like anyone else.

I never had a lock on my door, but my dad was extremely courteous and would always knock, and would only come into my room if I told him he could come in...

You don't want to say anything but if you had a lock on the door, they'd probably think you're hiding drugs or something worse...

I think sit your folks down and tell them that you are getting older and would enjoy more privacy and to be treated as an adult and not like their little boy, so could you please ask them to knock before they come in? It's your folks, so be honest. They obviously don't think that what they are doing makes you feel awkward, so tell them! Masturbation may occur to them, and so it should...young guys should be given ample time to practice, there's nothing worse than learning how to finish up quickly because you're terrified your mom's gonna come running in with your laundry! LOL!

Ask her if she can leave your laundry in the laundry room, and you'll collect it every day. Say goodnight before you go to your room, so they don't have to come in to tell you they are going to bed...

And remember, parents are like small puppies, they are going to make a few mistakes and may need a gentle tap on the nose with a rolled up paper, but if you keep reminding them, politely, to knock before bursting in, they'll eventually get it! Good luck!

I'm 15 and I have never had a lock on my door. My parents can walk in and out. Here is a tip. Don't do anything you wouldn't want them to see. When you have your own house, then you can have a lock. Maybe say that you want them to knock from now on, as you want some privacy now that you are 15.

Talk to them, if they don't think that you should have a lock on your door try hanging a sign on your door knob. One side can say ENTER the other can say BUSEY or DO NOT ENTER or somthing like that. I don't have a lock but I have a sign that says PLEASE KNOCK. And then I can tell my mom or dad that im busey or i'll just be like "im changing" (even if im not) and they go away.

Maybe the filter is blocked and the cold air is not coming into the house, instead its freezing up your machine, cause it can't get out.

Check the filter.

There are a couple of things that can help. The problem is caused by the humidity in the air where you live. The moisture content is so high that it will not stay as a vapor at the temperature the coils are. I used to live in Ohio and had the same problem. I found cleaning coils helped increase air flow and cut down ice up. Also;

1) you can turn the thermostat up so the cooling coils are not so cold. If you look, it usually freezes up quicker when you are trying to drop the temp lots.

2) Turn on the unit earlier in the day to keep the temps and moisture from getting so high.

Buy a dehumidifier and keep it running.

It sounds like the cooling fins are clogged or blocked by something. Take off the cover, and check and see if all the aluminum pieces are all bent, or clogged with dirt or something else. Also make sure the drain hole, outside is clean and draining smoothly, stick a wire or bobby pin in it to make sure its clear. If none of those are the case. You just have too big of a house to cool for one air conditioner, you might need 2 or 3 ...! Hope this helps you keep cool!

It could be low on refrigerant but that would mean it has developed a leak.
Could also freeze from low airflow over the inside coil, like a dirty filter or coils that are dirty or a defective fan motor.
Try the fan at a higher speed.
Also if the front cover is not on properly or missing louvers you can get recirculation of cold air right back to the intake and cause the same thing.

it needs freon .buy a new one

It sounds like air or moisture may have gotten into your refrigerant system. Probably through a leaking or faulty hose or valve.
Air is a contaminant of refrigerant that can enter an A/C system and create A/C performance problems. Air, when mixed with refrigerant, changes the pressure of that gas and causes an A/C system to exhibit poor cooling properties.
Purging, from what I understand, is not a simple task and requires renting a special pump for the purpose.
Call the manufacturer of your conditioner to find out what you need to do.

Sounds like you need to clean the filter or the unit is frozen up turn on the inside fan to on and see if after two hours the air flow does not improve. Air in the seal system sounds far fetched.

IT MAY NEED A NEW BATERY

Have you checked your glow plugs, or glow plug regulator?

How long since you have cleaned or replaced the injectors?

Pay attention to HOW the truck runs. If you're getting some miss firing or surges it may be time for a pump and nozzles(OUCH). That's a worst case deal. Try the Stanadyne pump conditioner. I've seen that stuff work wonders, and it's cheeper than a pump. Hope this helps!

How many miles are on the engine? It sounds like you may be burning oil.
Also, you could a new head gasket. There may be water getting into the cylinders. To check for this, check your radiator level. Start the engine and remove the radiator cap. If you see a lot of bubbles in the coolant and if coolant blows out of the radiator, it could well be a blown head gasket. Pull out the dipstick when the engine is cold and not running. If the oil is gray, there is definitely water in the oil. This could be from a cracked block.
Check your injectors. They may be plugged up. Many unknowlegeable people drive a diesel like a gasoline engine. This is the wrong way to do it. Starting the engine, driving a short distance and shutting the engine off is improper. A diesel should be warmed up and driven for a while to heat up. They are made for the long run, not start, go a little ways and shut off. This fouls the injectors.
The engine in your truck is a very common engine used in a wide variety of machinery so, if you need parts, they are readily available.

omg! the answers you get here!....you need to replace the fuel pump (in tank pump) and its a common practice to set valves. white smoke is a "lean condition" probably not enough fuel pressure.

try the map sensor. one of my cars in the past done that to me , and it was a quick 40 dollar fix.

I would pursue the air conditioner issue if it was not your fault and it was broke by the landlord I hope you have documentions that it was put in by landlord. If he is trying to keep your security deposit you can ask him to get bids and take the lowest offer. You should also have him provide you with reciepts show what cost what so you know how your money is being spent.


On the other hand when you turn over an apartment you must give it back in the same order in which it was given to you or risk losin your deposit.

If you were a good tenant for a couple of years, some of those items would fall into the category of normal wear and tear. I presume that as a short term renter the landlord will try to get his costs of prepping the unit back.
Cleaning the apartment is a basic necessity. (I charge $38 for maid service to an efficiency unit.) Did you vacuum, wash the windows and woodwork and clean the carpet before you moved out? If so, he may be trying to scalp you a hundred bucks or so. Nail holes have to be filled and perhaps the walls will have to be painted so they do not show as spots. How much should that cost? I would strongly argue the chimney charge. I hope you asked the landlord to fix the air conditioner before you tried?
I am guessing these reasonable costs:
+ cleaning $100 max
+ filling and painting "nail holes in the wall" $200
+ carpet cleaning $100
+air conditioner repair which I feel should have been handled by the landlord so cut it in half to $200 to share the responsibility.
So, you counter that you will gladly pay $600 and want $900 back. You can always raise your sacrifice to $750 in hopes of getting $750 back. Emphasize that you do not agree with ANY of the charges, but will settle only to put the matter behind you.
Although the landlord holds the security deposit, it is a deposit held in trust--and it is not his property. If smiling nicely while sensibly negotiating does not get most of your deposit back, you may have to bring an action in small claims court or tenants court.

You are liable for fixing the air conditioner - you broke it, but he should have told you about it.

It is perfectly reasonable for the $400 for the air conditioner and all the cleaning charges to add up to $1500. Think about it - take out the $400, that only leaves $1100 for cleaning. A house cleaner will charge at least a couple hundred, carpet cleaning takes at least a couple hundred, a handy man to patch the nail holes could easily be about a hundred - that all adds up.

Now - I do agree that yhou shouldn't have to pay for the chiminy that would count as general wear and tear

I think I say this for every answer in this section: It totally depends on the state you live in.

Still, a basic idea in nearly every state is that a landlord can only charge for things beyond the scope of normal wear and tear. Soot in a chimney, that is absolutely normal wear and tear. Same thing with vacuuming.

Also, most states require a landlord to be very explicit with where the deposit money went. "Maid Service" would not fly.

As far as carpet cleaning goes, if there weren't any stains, that would be a no-go as well.

Now, the best part...again though, depends on where ya live. If a landlord wrongfully withholds your deposit, he can be liable for double or even triple (In california..) the amount wrongfully withheld. Oh and he has to pay for your attorney.

So talk to an attorney about this one as soon as possible. If the landlord is ripping you off on your deposit, you may find it more affordable and easy to get him than you thought.

The A/C filter and the chimney cleaning are his responsibility not yours and I'd seek that out in small claims court if you have to. He can charge for maid service, carpet cleaning and patching nail holes unless you can prove that you took care of those things before you left.

idk

Well first you have to ask yourself why do the capacitor fail,low line voltage, hard starting compressor. From what you say it sounds like a power supply problem, outside disconnect box or the breakers or fuses in the home. You need a volt meter and amp probe.

I assume the part of the air conditioner that the water is hitting is outside. If this is the case, you could always put sand or kitty litter on top of it. The water won't make a sound when it hits this, and you can just brush it off after a while and put a new layer down.

How about an old towel?

Kitty litter is a good idea. You could also set a bucket out there with a towel in it so it is easy to empty daily.

Good luck!

Yikes. What a nightmare.

Experiment in your kitchen sink, before you start putting things outside ontop of your air conditioner.

But, what is going to work is something made of fabric. (Because fabric will absorb the sound, as well as the moisture.) Now, you have to think about the fact that the towel will dry out, and wind will blow it away. So, you need to attach it.

Whatever you put out there will become gross, so you'll never bring it back to live inside again.

Use an absorbent towel folded into many layers, and duct tape it all the way around the edges, to keep it from going anywhere.

Get a piece of outdoor/indoor carpet and place it on top of your unit. Not only will keep the noise down but your a/c will work better. Air conditioning works better in a cool damp metal box than in a hot dry metal box.

fix it!!!!!

Sounds like the entire unit is a little bit off balance, not quite leveled properly, so when it shuts off it doesn't do it smoothly. The fan pretty much just stops instead of slowing down. That's my guess and that is the bang you hear.

i would call your local hvac person.

make sure they have their state license tho

It's a loose panel or just air pressure from a dirty filter.Sometimes when the filter is dirty ,it will make a tell tell sound when the unit cycles.Not that yours is but just something to check.

It's not an option. You have to use 230V if you are in Europe(and Asia except Japan). If you are in North Am, use 115V.

It's the power rating that determine the cost of operation and the size of the room.

In the US, the size of the air conditioner will determine the voltage. An air conditioner rated at about 7,500 BTU's or less can run on 110 volts but you can get them for 220 volts also. Over this rating, the A/C will need 220 volts. The current draw is what determines which voltage you use. 7,500 BTU's will need about 20 amps from a 110 volt circuit. That's pretty much the limit for a 110 volt circuit. A 10,000 BTU A/C would need about 14 amps from a 220 volt circuit and about 28 amps from a 110 volt circuit. This is why an electric water heater, clothes dryer, and stove use 220 volts. The current draw would be too large for 110 volts.

Theirs a possibility that these cold like systems could be allergens but i would say u have a mild allergen.Not to the point where allergies testing needs to come in.If it gets worst i would though recommend talking to an allergist to see what medication u could be put on.The only way to find out if its the flowers is to go outside and walk around for a Little while.And if u find yourself getting the cold like system's then have the flowers get pulled out.This may also just be signs of an early cold

i have a "beach wave" iron, they can range from 30-80 form a decent one, and i love it in just makes nice big soft waves in your hair. u could also just use some gel/moose and scrunch your hair when its semi-damp and that would look nice too. i use the garnier fructis products and i think they work well, just make sure there the "strong hold" ones.

You might need your duct work cleaned out.=)
